C27 (2/2)

His expression was the same as ever, but within the depths of his eyes, he was staring at Cang Yun. There was a trace of an extremely hidden and peculiar light, and only then did he issue out a rather meaningful sentence, ”I feel that one day, he will be a good opponent, so I am looking forward to it.”

Towards the youngster whose reputation was no less than his, he was somewhat unable to fathom it. Although they had come into contact before, every time the latter gave him a strange feeling, as if under the cover of his eye-catching appearance, he was concealing an extremely deep secret.

Therefore, Zhou Jun had always been wary of this person. Otherwise, with his haughty personality, even if he had tried to stop him, he wouldn't have been able to resist the urge to attack Cang Yun.

In the distance, Cang Yun naturally did not know about the contents of their conversation. However, as their gazes met, he also noticed Zhou An's peculiar gaze. This made him frown, while inwardly alerting himself.

”Could these ladders be the trial of this level?” At this point, Zhou Xian'er suddenly called out.

Hearing this, Cang Yun retracted his thoughts. His gaze followed Zhou Xian'er's line of sight, and indeed, a towering stone staircase appeared in the middle of the sky.

One could see that the stone stairs had a total of 99 steps. They were divided into 3 sections, with each section being 33 steps and each section being 30 feet high. It was as if a flight of stairs were standing in this space.

However, apart from its magnificence, the stone staircase did not seem to have anything special about it. One could not sense any mysterious aura, as if it was an ordinary stone staircase.

Swoosh!

Just as Cang Yun finished sizing up the stone staircase in front of him, a white figure suddenly flew past his line of sight and headed towards the stone staircase.

”Zhou Jun has gone over.” Zhou Xian`er's eyes narrowed as she stared curiously in front of her.

Cang Yun was also alert. With Zhou Jun, the first to take the lead, they were able to determine whether this seemingly ordinary stone staircase was concealing some profound secrets or not.

Clatter!

In the next moment, under the breathless gazes of Cang Yun and the rest, Zhou Jun's feet lightly tiptoed as his body flew up into the air, before gently descending towards the first level of the stone staircase.

Weng! *

However, just as his feet made contact with the rock stairs, a light suddenly lit up on the first level.

In a split-second, Zhou Jun's expression changed slightly. His originally light and graceful figure also became sluggish for a moment, as if he had felt an inexplicable pressure.

”Looks like this stone staircase is not that simple after all.” Cang Yun narrowed his eyes and said.

However, just as he finished speaking, he noticed that Zhou Jun's expression had returned to normal after slightly adjusting himself. He immediately moved his body and continued up the second flight of stairs. It was evident that although the staircase was a little strange, it was not too dangerous.

Such a discovery completely dispelled the last of his misgivings. After a brief conversation with Zhou Xian`er, the two of them leapt forward and ran towards the stone staircase as well.
